Implant -- Do I choose Oral Surgeon or Periodontist?

I had tooth #18 extracted and am scheduled for evaluation in a month
with the oral surgeon to see how the bone has healed. If there is bone
loss, bone graft will be required (I am not sure if the oral surgeon
does bone grafts -- I will need to go to periodontist -- but I will
have to check on that).

But I do know that both the oral surgeon and the periodontist that
previously treated my infection, perform implants.

In the case that I go for implant, does it make much difference which
one of them I select?

Is experience very important or are implants a routine procedure that
any experienced dentist could do?
